Philips Hard Folio Kindle 3 cover - €2.99 in Dealz

I spotted them in Dealz in Athlone

Two colours:

Brown


Red

Quality of them is really nice, the look out of place in the shop to be honest!

I bought one for my Sony Ts1 reader, the case is a little big for it but it does fit in it ok. It would be perfect as a case for travelling with it, but you might not use it everyday if that makes sense

For €2.99 it makes a good replacement for the padded envelope i was using as a case

Would really be interested in the red one, I know 3 people who have gotten Kindles in the past month, they'd make a great gift! I've had my sony ereader for 4 1/2 years, still has the same dull cover on it, I wonder would these fit it also?

FWIW, Dealz in blanch SC had a full rack, all colours (as of 3.00pm today). As OP pointed out, decent quality for price.

Just to warn you that anyone who got a kindle in the last few months most likely got a kindle 4.

They are too small for these cases...Trust me I learnt the hard way

And yes I know it said kindle 3 when I bought it but was chancing my arm....

If it's the brown one and you live/work in city centre I would happily buy it from you just to avoid the hassle of driving to Dealz. Mine is kindle 3.

C'mon, cheer up that face

About 30 left in Cork City centre.
Bought one for my Sony, but as stated earlier, its a little to big.
However, Quality is nice - and a bargain for that price!

Thanks OP

Forgot to add: They have black ones, too.
But they are "top flip"..

Was coming on to add this deal Picked one up today for my kindle touch. Slightly big but still holds the kindle in place no problem. Delighted with it, had been about to pick one up in Tesco for 30, this one has a much nicer feel to it. Also picked up a
little clip on reading light in dealz for 1.49
